A silver-chrome food-van, at the top of the food-van there is a sign that has 'Waffles' written on it, and light-bulbs decorating the edge of the sign. There's also a sign at the base of the food-van that has 'Jojo's Saucy Waffles' written on it, the sign also has a love-heart with wings attached to it.

My partner and I were driving through New Gisborne on our way back visiting relatives when we spotted the "Waffle" sign driving past the New Gisborne Coles Supermarket. We decided to stop by and sample the wares on offer.

The waffle is sweet, then there's the super sweet choice of toppings, in fact, it made my partner a little nauseous. Although he did choose these toppings, so he brought it upon himself really.

The waffles themselves are rather sweet, so the combination of tart tasting fruit like the strawberries and cherries work really well together. The coconut sorbet and mandarin slices work well together as contrasting tastes.

Happy to recommend if you're passing through New Gisborne.
